- Garlic 10 g · 15 kcal

👨🍳 Instructions
- Cut the beef into large, roughly 3-4 cm cubes. Crush the garlic cloves and mix them with the olive oil.
- Thread the beef cubes onto laurel wood skewers (or metal/bamboo skewers), alternating with fresh bay leaves. Season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Brush the beef skewers with the garlic-infused olive oil. Grill over hot coals (traditionally) or on a high-heat grill, turning occasionally, until desired doneness is reached.
- Serve immediately, often by hanging the skewers vertically on a special stand for presentation, accompanied by sides like milho frito (fried cornmeal) or fresh salad.
